    Nick Minchin and NBN Sam -- 31/03/09

    Nick Minchin's use-by-date is over and he keeps on forgetting that he is no longer the Minister for Telstra. He did NOTHING constructive when he could have and sold off T3 too cheap thereby costing us billions. Turnbull should replace this whinger who contributes nothing to this debate.

    Go Senator Minchin. Sydney Lawrence -- 31/03/09 (in reply to #320127344)

    Sam, the fact that you criticize Senator Minchin shows your disingenuous and dishonourable agenda to advance your interests to the disadvantage of your fellow Australians.

    How any Government with half a brain and worth their salt could disqualify the one company with the best capability and finances to build the NBN with a childish excuse of non-conformance is a disgrace.

    Hey Sydney, if Telstra the great is truly as great as you state, why has it not built it in the last 15 years? And Telstra disqualified itself by REFUSING to bid. You are right-It is time for Minchin to Go! Go Minchin Go and enjoy your retirement.

    Telstra NBN Cabel -- 31/03/09 (in reply to #320127368)

    Sam, Telstra has proposed to build the NBN 3 time starting in 2005 with no government funding and it got turned down everytime.
